Description
CVE-2026-33747 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in moby buildkit versions prior to 0.28.1. It allows a malicious custom BuildKit frontend, specified via `#syntax` or `--build-arg BUILDKIT_SYNTAX`, to write files outside the intended BuildKit state directory by sending a crafted API message. Well-known frontend images such as `docker/dockerfile` are not affected. The issue has been fixed in version 0.28.1.
